Cyberpunk 2077 - Gamescom 2018 interview
Some tough questions leak important info. Huge in length, bigger even than Witcher 3. There is a possibility that we see Android companions, in which we will be able to remove parts. Graphics that we've seen in the behind-the-scenes gameplay video will change, especially in the enviroment. Also the game as crafting, a big variety of weapons and weapon scaling according to rarity.



Also we might be able to have more than one companions in battle. The game will be released as fully single-player but it seems that the existence of various forms of multiplayer (definitely Co-op) is not ruled out.

XP for finishing missions
Street cred is a separate XP-like pool
Street cred provides access to vendors, weapon mods, mission options
Skill leveling is usage-based; like Skyrim presumably
AI director for crowds is propagated throughout entire game
Ripper docs are a mechanic in-game that provides you access to cyberware
Weapon system includes rarification and modification
Multiplayer (co-op/competitive)? RnD phase; maybe
Companions but you don't control them directly
BioWare-style relationships?

Possible co-op post launch? Ooh.

Good, love this system. This is great news for me.

Weapon system includes rarification and modification

As I said on the other discussion:

weapon scaling according to rarity.

Not good at all.

Also, not a fan of the mandatory crafting.

I was hoping for co-op. Feels like it's the perfect game for that. Happy they're thinking about it.

Good interview. The creepiest moment is when they're discussing sexual relationships, and the editor just cuts to these three women at Gamescom for an uncomfortable period of time lol.

As I said on the other discussion:

I know Manos used the word crafting, but I think that implies a lot more than what was said. I'm thinking more like ME weapon mods.

So I guess if they're building the multiplayer element post launch, that could mean the next Witcher game is like someone suggested in a prior thread where it could be 'Create a Witcher'. Then the 'lobby' could be at Kaer Morhen.

 

[Redshirt]

Create-a-Witcher (picking your school and everything) would be $!@# amazing.

It's what I said ages ago, immediately after they told us that "that was the last Geralt" game, taking into consideration the feedback they got from people that wanted a Witcher-Skyrim.

It's been pretty obvious to me that the next Witcher will be with a personalized character.

You know I finally got around to playing through The Witcher 3 all the way and...

Spoiler

Got to the part with Uma with the Trial of Grasses. That is almost a dead giveaway to your theory that the next will be Create A Witcher, at least to me it was.
